Re: PM Hall Of Fame

I do not feel that the Best Nodes page is the place to find "good" information. A better place (hopefully) would be Tutorials or even Reviews, and the Power-Monks use Super Search to find what they are after. When i am looking for an answer, i don't first search for "good" nodes. I first search for a topic, and since i have my preferences set to sort node replies by best reputation, i have my 'Best Nodes'. And if i want to see what a particular monk's best nodes are, i can find that out as well.

Nay, the Best Nodes page is about pride. And if you want to make it on that coveted Top 20 list, you'd better get about a quarter K of users to ++ your node. Or else you only last for about a day or so. ;)

Oh, and if you write something you are proud of, don't be ashamed to remind everyone on your home node.

Or else you only last for about a day or so. ;) It's not just about pride. I personally consider browsing perlmonks my best time waster ... on days when I have a lot of time to waste, after exhausting the Newest Nodes page, i allways take a glane down the "Weekly Best" nodelet to see if there's anything i've missed that other people have (aparently) given high marks. If there was a Monthly/Yearly best, i'd gander at those too if i had even more time. You're right .. searchingthe "Best Nodes" as a section would probably be silly .. but as a list. Sounds like a usefull page to me.	[reply]

the Best Nodes page is about pride. I can only partially agree. I am a casual browser here in PM, and I don't stand a chance that one of my nodes gets to the Hall of Fame, but sometimes, after I have been away from the Moastery for a while, I would like to know what was going on while I wasn't watching, and reading ALL the nodes submitted, say, in one month, is not something I can do. I believe that this was the gist of tilly's note as well. I have learned a lot from the Monastery, even without contributing too much. I would like to have a method to skim the good stuff from the average nodes, and a hall of fame with the best nodes for each month would be a great browsing help for somebody who is not looking for a specific subject, but is only willing to learn more from other people experience. A Hall of Fame page would be a system to keep the good nodes in a place where people can see them (without an explicit research) even after one week. I believe that the Monastery is full of hidden treasures, nodes that were not Tutorials but did not get a quarter of K votes, and nonetheless deserve more than one week of glory.	[reply]
